学业进展满意（SAP）
Federal financial aid regulations require 太阳城集团官方网站 to establish and enforce
standards of 学业进展满意（SAP）. SAP is checked the first time a
student applies for financial aid and prior to aid disbursement each term.
When SAP is checked for a student, all prior semesters of attendance are considered,
even if the student did not receive financial aid for prior semesters.
需求
满足学业进步的三个要求：
1. 累积平均绩点（累积GPA）
Undergraduate students 2.00
研究生 students 3.00
累积GPA可以使用我们的在线GPA计算器来估算。
2. 累计学分完成率（累计进度）
Cumulative pace is measured by dividing the cumulative number of completed credits by the cumulative number of attempted credits. Students must maintain a minimum cumulative pace of 67%. For financial aid purposes, a course is considered completed if a grade of A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D, or CR is earned. Grades of F, NR, I, and W are considered attempted but not completed.
3. 最大尝试积分限制
The maximum time frame for completing a degree is limited by federal regulations to 150% of the published number of credit hours required to complete the degree program.
Undergraduate degree attempted credits limit: 180 attempted credits
研究生 degree attempted credits limit: 54 attempted credits
Completed credits, transfer credits, College Level Examination Program (CLEP) credits, dual enrollment credits, and courses with grades of F, NR, I, and W all count toward the maximum attempted credits limit.
The maximum attempted credits limit for students pursuing teacher certification or re-certification will be determined on an individual basis.
针对SAP的以下课程类型的处理
Repeated Courses: Repeated courses count as attempted credits and, when passing grades
are received, they also count as completed credits.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP): CLEP courses count as both attempted and
completed credits.
Transfer Courses: Credits transferred to 太阳城集团官方网站 from another institution
count as both attempted and completed credits.
Dual Credit Courses: Dual credit courses count as attempted credits and, when passing
grades are received, they also count as completed credits.
SAP状态
符合SAP
The 符合SAP status is assigned to students in two circumstances: 1) it is the student’s first semester at Peru State, and 2) when, after their most recent semester, they meet all 3 standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress.
警告
Students are placed on 警告 status when, after their most recent semester of attendance, they are deficient in either their cumulative GPA, their cumulative Pace, or both. 警告状态的学生有资格获得经济援助。
悬架
悬架 status is assigned to students in three circumstances: 1) the student was on 警告 status and at the end of their warning semester, they do not meet the standards for cumulative GPA, cumulative Pace, or both, 2) the student has reached the maximum attempted credits limit, and 3) the student has not yet reached the maximum attempted credits limit, but it is not possible for the student to complete their program prior to reaching the maximum attempted credits limit.
There are two ways students with 悬架 status can earn reinstatement: 1) secure approval of an appeal (details below) or 2) pay on their own for one or more semesters until they meet all three satisfactory progress requirements, then notify the Financial Aid Office.
缓刑
When a Satisfactory Academic Progress appeal is approved for a suspended student, the student is placed in 缓刑 status and will be eligible to receive aid during the probationary semester(s). Students on probation are placed on a monitoring plan and are required to achieve a minimum semester GPA of 2.00 undergraduate/3.00 graduate and complete a minimum of 100% of all attempted credits for the semester. Students who meet the probation requirements, but still do not meet all of the Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements, may have their probation extended to their next term of enrollment. There is not a limit on the number of consecutive terms a student can be on 缓刑 status.
上诉过程
Students placed in 悬架 status due to their cumulative GPA, their cumulative
course completion rate, or both, or maximum attempted credits limit have the right
to submit an appeal based on mitigating circumstances (unusual or extraordinary circumstances
beyond their control that the student could not have planned for). Submission of an
appeal is not a guarantee of approval.
上诉必须包括以下内容：
- A written statement explaining: 1) the mitigating circumstance(s) that prevented the student from meeting SAP requirements, and 2) what has changed in the student’s situation that will allow for a higher cumulative GPA, a higher course completion rate, or both by the end of the next SAP evaluation period.
- Third-party documentation that supports the information in the student’s written statement (e.g., medical documents, obituary notices, legal documents, police reports). Statements from friends and family cannot be considered.
- A personal statement explaining why you have accumulated and/or attempted excess units for your degree. If you have taken or plan to take courses that are not required, give your reasons for taking them. Indicate if you have changed your major or program, and if so, why.
Examples of mitigating circumstances include, but are not limited to:
Serious injury or illness of the student, spouse, or child; 家庭成员死亡。
Examples of circumstances that are NOT mitigating include, but are not limited to:
Problems accessing required books and supplies, personality conflicts with instructor,
transportation problems, loss of child’s day care provider.
重复的课程
Federal regulations stipulate that federal aid may only be awarded to an undergraduate
student once for a previously passed course (one repetition per class). The Financial
Aid Office is required to monitor students' repeat coursework to determine financial
aid eligibility. Students are not eligible to receive federal or state aid for a previously
passed course repeated more than one time.
重复保单条件
- If a student passes a course once and repeats the course for a better grade, the student may not be paid for taking the course a 3rd time, even if the desired grade was not earned in the 2nd attempt.
- If a student passes a course once and then repeats the course and fails the 2nd attempt, that failure counts as their final attempt and the student may be not paid for taking the course a 3rd time.
- For 学业进展满意（SAP）, each time a course is taken will count as an attempt when measuring progress toward a degree.
- 一个学生如果在同一门课上多次不及格，可能会多次得到报酬。
重要的通知
金融援助 警告, 缓刑, and 悬架 are completely different than Academic
Contract, 缓刑, and 悬架. Appeals submitted for financial aid Satisfactory
Academic Progress do not affect Academic Contract, 缓刑 and 悬架, which
has a separate appeal process. Approval of an Academic appeal does not guarantee approval
of a 金融援助 appeal.
